Summary
[edit]DescriptionWildfires affect Hawaii.jpg |
English: Numerous fires are devastating Hawaii. Maui, one of the islands in the archipelago, is the hardest-hit area. Approximately 14,000 homes have lost power, and at least six people have died. Evacuation orders have been issued on the Big Island as a result of the fires which have affected communication and infrastructures. According to NOAA, the flames have been partially fueled by strong winds generated by the passage of Hurricane Dora, located approximately 1,200 km south in the Pacific Ocean. On 8 August, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured the ongoing fires on Maui and the Big Island. Copernicus plays a pivotal role in facilitating the monitoring and analysis of remote areas. |
